The equal algorithm used to take the size
equal(p, q *T, size uintptr) bool
With this change, it does not
equal(p, q *T) bool
Similarly for the hash algorithm.
The size is rarely used, as most equal functions know the size
of the thing they are comparing. For instance f32equal already
knows its inputs are 4 bytes in size.
For cases where the size is not known, we allocate a closure
(one for each size needed) that points to an assembly stub that
reads the size out of the closure and calls generic code that
has a size argument.
Reduces the size of the go binary by 0.07%. Performance impact
is not measurable.

Fold in some startup randomness to make the hash vary across
different runs. This helps prevent attackers from choosing
keys that all map to the same bucket.
Also, reorganize the hash a bit. Move the *m1 multiply to after
the xor of the current hash and the message. For hash quality
it doesn't really matter, but for DDOS resistance it helps a lot
(any processing done to the message before it is merged with the
random seed is useless, as it is easily inverted by an attacker).

For arm and powerpc, as well as x86 without aes instructions.
Contains a mixture of ideas from cityhash and xxhash.
Compared to our old fallback on ARM, it's ~no slower on
small objects and up to ~50% faster on large objects. More
importantly, it is a much better hash function and thus has
less chance of bad behavior.
